The Liberal Arts and Sciences curriculum is designed to provide the first two years of education for students planning to transfer to a four-year program leading to a bachelor degree. The Mathematics option is intended for students who plan to seek bachelor's degrees in either mathematics or math education. The requirements for this program are very focused and therefore best suited for students who are certain about their choice of a major in mathematics.

2 Select from one of the following: MATH 150 Precalculus or MATH 290 Independent Study in Linear Algebra or MAHT 225 Differential Equations.

3 Students must select one behavioral social science from GE3, and one non-behavioral social science course from GE 4, 5 or 6:

Behavioral social sciences include anthropology, human geography, psychology, and sociology

Non-behavioral social sciences include history and government.

4 Most Unrestricted Electives should be taken in computer science, science, and/or business by advisement. The number of Unrestricted Elective credits will vary depending on the number of credits earned in the other areas. Students must work closely with their advisors to determine the number of Unrestricted Electives needed to graduate.
